Fantasy Tip: Wheaton couldn't stay healthy in his first year with the Bears and didn't perform very well during the limited time he was on the field. Considering he is owed $5 million for 2018 and would be a third receiver on the team at best, Biggs isn't going too far out on the limb here. Wheaton can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller (knee) said that he still hopes to play football again. He's had nine surgeries related to the knee injury he suffered on Sunday, Oct. 29, against the New Orleans Saints, and while he's "out of the woods" concerning the previous possibility of losing his leg, he's still waiting on his knee to heal enough to start rehabilitation. There is still no timeline for when that will happen.

The Chicago Bears hired former Kansas City Chiefs co-offensive coordinator and assistant head coach Brad Childress Monday, Feb. 5, to be an offensive assistant. Childress retired a week ago but will reunite with his co-offensive coordinator partner Matt Nagy in Chicago.

Chicago Bears QB Mike Glennon is expected to play elsewhere in 2018 according to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson, who put the odds of Glennon returning at "virtually nil."

Fantasy Tip: Glennon leaving after one season was all but guaranteed when the Bears spent the third overall pick on Mitchell Trubisky for financial reasons, but Glennon didn't even make it a hard decision by lasting just four games as a starter. Best case for Glennon would likely be to join a team to compete for a starting gig, though nothing he showed in 2017 suggests he's capable.

Fantasy Tip: Howard can succeed with or without offensive creativity as he has 1,217.5 yards and 7.5 touchdowns on the ground in his first two NFL seasons. His passing game production took somewhat of a backseat in 2017 with the emergence of Tarik Cohen, but Howard remains in the RB1 conversation in any scoring format.

Chicago Bears OG Josh Sitton has a 2018 option in his contract, and the Bears will have a month to decide whether they will exercise the option. Sitton would receive $8 million in 2018 if his option is picked up.
